Manhatten Center 4/5/71
There were no crowd problems this night. I was right in the front. The venue was small and perfect. The sound incredible. The place actually shook. Numerous people were walking around naked. Many were on acid as was my crew. This was the best Dead concert I ever saw and heard of about 20 from 1970 to 1980. They were never the same without Pig.

Nice recording. Like the previous night, the show is a bit sloppy.

too many people
I believe that this was the show that was so packed that people were getting crushed toward the front of the theater. I saw several girls carried out of the mob. This was before "Take a Step Back" was practiced and it was the first show I attended where it was obvious that too many tickets had been sold. By the time of this show the band had gained a large following and so whether the tickets were oversold or some other reason it was a madhouse. I hope someone who was there can remember the date I speak of can concur with me on this. The Dead were in full strength by this time and the venue was too small. Five stars for performance but zero for security.

Nice show
Such a laid back 1st set tempo-wise, measured and grooving. I use Winamp to listen to any saved files and it plays seamlessly.

Ron's organ
I can hear Pigpen's organ very clearly in Cold Rain & Snow, and I love it!
I just listened to the beautiful Truckin' into The Other One into Wharf Rat. I have just one complaint: the three interruptions.
Anyone know how to combine them into one seamless track? I currently save them as mp3s in WMP, and burn a lot of stuff onto CDs from there. I have Audacity, but I'm not proficient in it or any other audio-editing software.
I fondly remember the days (40 years ago!) when we'd snap in a cassette and hear 45 (or 60) minutes of uninterrupted Grateful Dead bliss.
